My Poor Coolermaster V8 :<

So over time, cleaning after cleaning, my Coolermaster V8 was becoming less and less effective...I was growing sad, and the fan inside was begining to be off-balance and scrape against the actuall heatsink. I was looking around for a new cooler when I decided to get off my lazy ass and find the reason for my temps. 




LESSON LEARNED! Take the fan out and clean the inside of the fucking thing, because this is what I found. It was even worse and more condensed on the other side. The canned air would not get this out because of how dense the dust was. I was surely suprised because I was sure that I had destroyed all le dust.




 

 

After the damn thing was cleanededed out, I added a new fan, looks pretty, and tempeatures dropped 10C. This is what it looks like now :)

 

 

 

 

CLEAN THE INSIDE OF YOUR COOLER! 

DONT USE JUST CANNED AIR 

I had the same issue with my Phanteks PH-TC14PE; clean the fans, and blades, of dust!

Getting the old fan out was a real bitch, though....lol.
